Hi there! I see that Rascal is very young. Often, kittens this age are not good at finding their litter box in a big house when they need to go. I would recommend setting up a room for him with his litter box, food and water bowls, etc. and keeping him confined there for the next few days until he's using the box regularly with no problems. Then, you can gradually start to give him more freedom in the house as long as things are going well.
